High School Beefs Up Security for Homecoming

King Philip Regional High School will have added security at this weekends homecoming dance. The school sent two emails to parents yesterday, and one today, regarding information of a potential disruption during this weekend's events. The emails did not provide specific details on the information the school received saying there was a rumor of "threatening behavior at the homecoming event."

Today's email said, the school's resource officer "does not feel this rumor can be substantiated. We will be going forward with the dance." But there will be increased security with additional police details and a greater number of administrators at the dance on Saturday night.

Unrelated to the threat, the homecoming football game was moved this year and will be held tonight at Attleboro High School. This move was made because the high school track is being resurfaced. Both Attleboro Police and School Administrators were notified of the rumor.
